Hey from Moscow, Terre - Mark Sultan is about to go on at a chinese restaurant cum indie rock club across the street from the old HQ of the CPSU Central Committee. Rocker kids here seem plenty kool. Madame Wong's a la Russe? Just wish I were listening -- AND PLEDGING -- online.

I see no Bills on the "notable people" section of Bayonne's wiki page so I have to assume he's a regular schmuck like the rest of us.

Hey Cayrn, which episode of the IT Crowd were you talking about? Im the only US fan of that show.

♥

Caryn:
@KP: it's a combination of: a) I'm hoping I get one of the jobs I'm going out for, b) I had some birthday money left, and c) I can keep sleeping on the couch. Who needs a bed when you got tunes?

If somebody just pledges $100,000 we can end the marathon early

@KP: controversial comedy genius. "IT Crowd" was a rare moment of him working on something other than his own stuff (played Denholm). I recommend all his stuff, but especially "Brass Eye", "Jam" and "Four Lions".

I have yet to see "Up to Speed" with Timothy "Speed" Levitch but it looks promising--it's on HULU-same dude that is in "The Cruise"

Recently, I've gotten into "Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy". Utterly bizarre, and takes a while to get into, but then you get sucked in. And Ayoade's guest appearances are great.

@KP:I'm guessing that they're gathering money so quickly that they are waiting until the last moment to set a goal, just so they don't go over 100 % before time, thus potentially discouraging pledgers.

Andrew Waterloo:
Seems the trend is to reach the goal and simply bump it up again

I am leaking money quickly. THis was going to be a quiet show until i ran into you!

Caryn, how did you watch the Noel Fielding show, just on You Tube? I've heard it makes Mighty Boosh look like the Cosby Show.

hey, I pledged way before I knew what the prizes were, but the only prize I need is the smiling voices of WFMU ! You know I love all of you soooo much! Shout OUT to EFD & Joe Belock!

The only thing I know of Chris Morris is a brilliant and chilling clip called "Unflustered Parents" that got a lot of airplay on WFMU about 10 years ago. Horrifying and great.

♥

Caryn:
@slocker: full episodes are on youtube. And yes, it is way beyond the Boosh in terms of weirdness.

♥

Caryn:
@Pete: that was from the radio version of "Jam", called "Blue Jam".

Sat. 3/16/13 5:56pm
G:
@Caryn 5:49PM: I think that's how it works. In past years they set a goal early in the show, and would often overshoot or not come close, neither of which was good. So now they wait till the halfway mark or later to set a goal they can see they will at least come close to.

Here, with Tom as a fundraising wildcard, they were thinking like you said, I bet, Caryn...

The Blue Jam radio series (which was adapted into the Jam TV series) is absolutely brilliant. One of my favourite radio/comedy things ever. They're all available online.

♥

Caryn:
@cklequ: the weirdest thing is, the DVD version has an option which supposedly gives the show full control of your DVD player. I tried it out once, and, indeed, the player wouldn't respond to controls at all. Had to unplug it from the wall to make it stop showing "Jam".

♥

cklequ:
I've read that a lot of the skits on the tv show were taken directly from "Blue Jam" with the actors lip synching. Which makes the whole show that much creepier. I think the "unflustered parents" was one of those.

Pete from Boston (and NJ):
On a related note, I turned off the radio in my truck a while ago (during tjis show -- had to use voice command on the phone) and it stayed on even with the button physically in the "off" position. WFMU is now in control of my radio.
